Not sure what steps you've taken. LilyPond does not exist as a stand-alone program for Windows. It runs under cygwin, a Linux like environment for Windows. It is necessary to download/install cygwin and include the LilyPond package. Directions for that can be found here: http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html Now, assuming you've installed according to the above you must understand that LilyPond is not an interactive point-and-click program. Simply starting LilyPond won't do very much. LilyPond is a batch program which is run on an input file. Go here to learn about the input syntax: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Tutorial.html Hope this is helpful. -David _______________________________________________ Bug-lilypond mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
